A round of midweek games started on Wednesday as a terrific battle of the non-European players took place in Umbertide with Parma winning 75-73. Uju Ugoka’s dominance inside along with some help from Christine Clark gave the visitors the edge over Meighan Simmons. Blake Dietrick and Jelena Ivezic teamed up to lead Orvieto past Yvonne Anderson and Torino. Lucca maintained the top spot as Jillian Harmon led them to a 69-59 win over Venezia. Schio kept pace as Jolene Anderson and Ashley Walker led them to a 76-67 win over a Sesto San Giovanni team just holding their heads above trouble. Napoli gave a taste of how they were originally supposed to perform as Gintare Petronyte led the way again in a 68-58 win over Ragusa as they chase the last playoff spot. Reshanda Gray and Amber Orrange revived their collegiate rivalry as Battipaglia beat Vigarano 76-52. The last game took place on Thursday as San Martino stays between the two groupings in the standings after a 73-67 win over last place Cagliari.
